China is situated in the eastern part of the Eurasian continent and on the western coast of the Pacific Ocean, making it one of the countries most severely affected by typhoon disasters globally. Based on tropical cyclone data from 1951 to 2024, this study systematically investigates the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of typhoons making landfall in China by integrating methods such as linear regression, Morlet wavelet analysis, partial correlation analysis, and geostatistical techniques. The results indicate: (1) The annual average number of typhoons making landfall in China is 8.9, with the highest frequency occurring in 1952 and the lowest in 2015, showing a significant decreasing trend. The number of typhoons making secondary landfalls remains relatively stable. The frequency of typhoons making landfall in South China has declined noticeably, while the proportion of landfalls in East China has slightly increased. (2) Typhoon landfalls are primarily concentrated between June and September, with an increasing trend observed in October, showing an increment of 0.1 per decade (0.1?10a?1). The main landing locations are concentrated in Guangdong, Hainan, and Taiwan provinces, while Fujian Province records the highest number of secondary landfalls. (3) A total of 247 tropical cyclones reached typhoon intensity or higher, accounting for approximately 37.4% of all landfalling tropical cyclones. The findings reveal the latest evolution patterns of typhoons making landfall in China, offering significant scientific value and practical implications for enhancing disaster forecasting capabilities and optimizing strategies for disaster prevention and mitigation.
